Ses racines franco-alg\u00e9riennes, il les assume et les affiche, et c&rsquo;est ce fil conducteur qui court de ses d\u00e9buts en banlieue lyonnaise jusqu&rsquo;\u00e0 l&rsquo;Octogone de Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<h3>Parcours : des rings locaux \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Ghemmouri commence \u00e0 se faire un nom sur la sc\u00e8ne fran\u00e7aise d\u00e8s 2014, dans les petites salles et les shows locaux comme le Lyon Fighting Championship. Il monte en puissance m\u00e9thodiquement : champion LFC en 2017 (-66 kg), champion Sparta Fight Series en Angleterre en 2018 (-61 kg), et champion de kickboxing K-1 en France. Autant de ceintures r\u00e9gionales qui posent les bases d&rsquo;une carri\u00e8re construite bout par bout, sans raccourci.<\/p>\n<p>C&rsquo;est sous la banni\u00e8re BRAVE CF qu&rsquo;il franchit le cap international. Entre 2021 et 2023, il y remporte trois combats cons\u00e9cutifs : une d\u00e9cision partag\u00e9e sur Vladislav Novitskiy (juin 2021), un arr\u00eat sur coups sur Bair Shtepin (d\u00e9cembre 2022), puis une finition au genou face \u00e0 Mehmosh Raza en R2 (juin 2023). Il arrive \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC avec un bilan de 10-2 et une vraie l\u00e9gitimit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<h3>UFC : deux exp\u00e9riences difficiles<\/h3>\n<p>Son entr\u00e9e dans la plus grande organisation du monde commence mal. Le 2 septembre 2023, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Paris, il affronte le compatriote William Gomis dans un duel franco-fran\u00e7ais. La soir\u00e9e tourne court de fa\u00e7on controvers\u00e9e : au troisi\u00e8me round, Ghemmouri se plaint d&rsquo;un coup bas sur une frappe au corps de Gomis, refuse de continuer, et l&rsquo;arbitre Lo\u00efc Pora valide un TKO. Premi\u00e8re d\u00e9faite \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC dans les pires conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Le 29 juin 2024, \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 303 \u00e0 la T-Mobile Arena de Las Vegas, il remonte sur le ring face \u00e0 Payton Talbott (9-0 \u00e0 l&rsquo;\u00e9poque), prospect am\u00e9ricain en plein essor. La nuit durera dix-neuf secondes : un contre droit de Talbott, une chute, et le KO est act\u00e9. Ghemmouri avait pr\u00e9venu la presse qu&rsquo;il ne venait pas en touriste \u2014 mais le MMA r\u00e9serve parfois des nuits impossibles.<\/p>\n<h3>Rebond en PFL MENA<\/h3>\n<p>Lib\u00e9r\u00e9 de l&rsquo;UFC, Ghemmouri ne dispara\u00eet pas. Il signe au PFL MENA et retrouve l&rsquo;envie sur le circuit Moyen-Orient\/Afrique du Nord. Le 27 septembre 2025, \u00e0 Riyad, il domine Izzeddine Al Derbani pendant trois rounds via prises au sol et contr\u00f4le au sol \u2014 victoire aux points unanime (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) \u2014 et s&rsquo;offre une place en finale. Le 5 d\u00e9cembre 2025, en finale PFL MENA 4, Islam Reda l&rsquo;attrape en choke anaconda au deuxi\u00e8me round (4:46). Bilan post-UFC : 1-1, toujours en comp\u00e9tition \u00e0 31 ans.<\/p>\n<h3>Profil technique<\/h3>\n<p>Ghemmouri est un grappleur d&rsquo;abord. La majorit\u00e9 de ses victoires arrivent par soumission (triangle, rear naked choke, arm triangle, genou au clinch) ou au sol par frappes. Debout, il est actif mais peut se faire surprendre sur les contr\u00e9s \u2014 la nuit Talbott en est l&rsquo;illustration la plus brutale. Son passage en PFL MENA face \u00e0 Al Derbani a montr\u00e9 sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 dicter le rythme d\u00e8s que le combat touche le tapis.<\/p>\n<p>Entra\u00een\u00e9 \u00e0 la Climax Fight Academy de Lyon, il gravite dans l&rsquo;orbite de la Bulgarian Top Team et est proche du combattant Fares Ziam. \u00c0 31 ans, avec un record professionnel de 13-4, il cherche encore \u00e0 trouver sa place au plus haut niveau.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/yanis-ghemmouri\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/pflmma.com\/news\/takedowns-grappling-control-leads-yanis-ghemmouri-to-dominant-performance-and-pfl-mena-finals-spot\">PFL MMA<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tapology.com\/fightcenter\/fighters\/98157-yanis-ghemmouri\">Tapology<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yanis Ghemmouri, \u00ab\u00a0The Desert Warrior\u00a0\u00bb franco-alg\u00e9rien de Lyon, est un poids coq\/plume MMA avec un record de 13-4, pass\u00e9 par l&rsquo;UFC et le PFL MENA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":102718,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"fighter_category":[69974],"fighter_tag":[],"class_list":["post-106697","fighter_profile","type-fighter_profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fighter_category-bantamweight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
